Abstract

This essay maps out the conceptual story of the notion of magical realism, from its early formulation in the book Nach-expressionismus, Magischer Realismus: Probleme die Neuesten Europäischen Malerei, by Franz Roh, until its promotion within the debates on the Latin-American literature of the Boom. It is a discussion of a traveling theory that confronts the visual domain of plastic arts with the literary domain in an attempt to define a representative approximation to modern reality.
